Teleport trap
| This magical trap can displace anyone hapless enough to step on it - or even fly above it - to a random place on the same dungeon level. |
A teleport trap is a trap that instantly teleports any character or monster that walks on it to another location on the level. Teleport traps are not mechanical and cannot be disarmed or avoided with flying or levitation. Because they are an instantaneous form of teleportation, they make for good emergency escape routes, especially if you happen to have the teleport control intrinsic.
If you come across a teleport trap that is blocking you from reaching an item or area you wish to explore, remember that an amulet of stasis will render it ineffective. Alternatively, Apportation will allow you to simply grab the items from a distance, and teleport control allows you to simply cancel the teleport outright.
If an item is on a teleport trap, moving onto the trap (with autopickup on) will not gain you the item; you will always teleport before any pickup attempt can be made.
